For thirty years, the association has done important work to develop the residential areas of Kasperi and Kivistö and to increase the comfort of the residents. One of the most important tasks of the residents' association has been the development of services in their own residential area, and to increase and bring them to their own "village".

The purpose of the association is to maintain, increase and develop community spirit, equality, inclusion and well-being in the surrounding area and the surrounding province, as well as to prevent exclusion.
